As U.S. credit card balances remain near historic highs, Debt.com has announced the nominees for its 2026 FinTalk Awards, recognizing financial content creators who are transforming how Americans approach personal finance. The awards highlight a shift toward relatable, judgment-free financial education, with nominees covering debt payoff, student loans, and budgeting through short-form videos, long-form series, and community outreach.
“Financial education only works when it is accessible, authentic, and immediately actionable,” said Don Silvestri, President of Debt.com. “These creators are reaching Americans directly on their phones and in their communities, making financial topics that can often feel intimidating easier to understand and, more importantly, easier to put into practice.”
Voting for the awards remains open through October 9, 2026, giving Hispanics across the country the opportunity to vote for their favorite creators in the Best Spanish-Language Financial Content Creator category. The nominees in this category include Moneyaccion, hosted by Alex, who simplifies saving, investing, and debt management with humorous and actionable content; Mamaperonoaburrida, led by Elizabeth Inciarte, who shows that you don’t need to be a millionaire to start investing; Soymmvelasquez, featuring María Mercedes Velasquez, who helps women over 40 take control of their money and invest with confidence; Neurodany, with Daniela Salazar, author of two books, who teaches investing, trading, and personal finance through social media and workshops; and Xavier Serbia, who brings over 20 years of experience explaining financial topics clearly for the Hispanic community.
